Demographics
South Carolina 33rd State Senate District sits in the Deep South.

That identity held for 1 consecutive presidential elections.
The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in South Carolina 33rd State Senate District peaked at 100 points in 1936; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 1980 election delivered the district to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of two points. By 2024, the margin had settled into deep Republican territory.
